What our families say: Queens Court Care Home

"Queens Court provides a welcoming, kind, safe and caring environment and my mother has benefited from their care. The staff are lovely, very friendly, warm and attentive. I would recommend for respite care. Plus Covid measures are excellent."

"We enjoyed our visit and were made to feel very welcome. It was reassuring to see Covid rules being followed. My friend looked comfortable and well looked after. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us. It is always a pleasure to visit."

"My mum came to stay with you for two weeks of respite care following a stay in hospital. She was quite weak and needed looking after by professionals for a short while. Sadly you had problems with your lift and so all the daytime activities did not always happen. She did enjoy a day trip out and the food was of an excellent standard. When she came home she was in much better health. Many thanks."

"My friend came to Queens Court for respite care in August. We have found the staff to be welcoming, always with a ready smile and nothing is too much for them if asked. My friend has been taken on outings which she very much enjoys and has received good personal attention both physically and emotionally. Well done the Queens Court team."

"I feel they are coping well in difficult times. There have been real problems with their lift which has been out of order for some time. They may have had like other care homes a problem with staff shortages and new staff have tried to learn how the place operates. Obviously, I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I have learnt to be patient as obviously I want my partner to be looked after properly in chaotic times for the NHS and government interference."

"I have been visiting a lifelong friend at Queens Court for over a year now. I have been constantly and deeply impressed by the quality of care and understanding given to her and by the kindness and friendliness of the staff shown to me during my visits. The home has made every effort to accommodate the needs of residents and visitors during the pandemic and has handled this difficult situation with great sensitivity so that one never felt totally cut off from loved ones."

"Queens Court is described as a boutique care home and it is indeed beautifully furnished and decorated. But more importantly, than this is the care that the home provides. The staff are kind and caring. Everyone is greeted with a smile and by name, visitors included. Nothing seems too much trouble. The whole atmosphere is one of a large family. To be recommended."

"On entering Barchester Queens Court Care Home the resident has a new lease of life. Her dignity was restored to her. Her whole manner expressed contentment. The staff showed a professional interest in her well being and the staff were always welcoming of me when I came to visit. A treasured memory is the occasion when I saw her in the garden on a warm summer day smiling contentedly."

"Our family were overall very impressed; staff were always wonderful, friendly as well as competent, and we were particularly struck by the resourceful management through the covid lockdowns. Care was mostly excellent but could fail in moments of crisis. A bad case of cellulitis was misdiagnosed both in-house and by the local GP. Both the GPs we encountered has poor bedside manner and left our mother unhappy with their competence. While our mother could be combative with the senior staff, this was sometimes very poorly handled in-house; a bizarre threat of expulsion left our mother feeling scared and vulnerable. It was not always easy to discuss such matters with management. Letters, emails and iPhone calls were not invariably responded to. We were pleased that new activities (such as classical music concerts and visits to local schools) were uncomplicatedly added to the schedule. The food was remarkably good - we, and even our mother were very impressed by the photo with a celebrity chef. The staff went out of their way to be friendly, interested and affectionate, going above and beyond. We owe them a great deal."

"I have found the care home to be very friendly and to listen to all the concerns I have for my partner as I had been giving her care 24/7 over four and a half years I looked after her prior to her admittance. I have been particularly worried when she falls backwards and to ensure that when she does there is someone to get her back on her feet quickly. We worked a system out well together, but from the information, I have received this has been continued in the home. She responds well to an interest placed in her and plenty of laughter is essential."

"My husband continues to be well cared for at Queens Court, and the staff are always available and willing to help and discuss his progress when required. The home and grounds are beautifully decorated for the festive season - much appreciated by everyone. The visitor's room has been a great success, although, inevitably, communication can be difficult. Hopefully, with the new vaccines becoming available, relatives will soon be able to go inside, as normal, so that we'll be able to converse normally again. That is what everyone is wishing for in 2021!"

From our very first visit, we were impressed by the high standard of care and attention to detail given to each resident. The provision across the board is five stars. As regular visitors, we are made to feel part of the family. We are invited to decision making meetings and kept constantly informed of our friend's wellbeing."

"Barchester's care of my mother is generally very good. It could be improved in two ways. i) She could be given more help using her iPad and watching things on the TV which would improve her life a lot. ii) Staff often fail to note down or inform her of when I (or my sister) am coming to visit."

"My husband moved to Queens Court Care Home in July and apart from a necessary visit to hospital has settled down quite well. Last week the staff arranged his 91st Birthday celebration and several members of the family were able to visit in the splendid new visitor's room and on the patio, since then of course visiting is no longer allowed due to Covid, which is very sad for everyone. Meanwhile, I know that my husband is being well looked after in a safe environment by very efficient and kind people."

"My mother had advanced Dementia and spent her last 18 months of life at Queens Court and throughout her time there she was treated beautifully with respect, dignity, and with wonderful care by the friendly staff who have been there for a long time. There is no fast turnover and the management is topnotch, keeping on top of everything and always there to answer questions and to have a chat and see if everything was running smoothly. The home has a really happy atmosphere. Local primary children come and interact with the inhabitants and there are weekly music singsongs which my mother loved. Lots of outings happened and I also took my mother in her wheelchair to Wimbledon cafes and a small park. I was able to invite my mother's friends to lunch with her and it was very popular for the chance to see her and also the restaurant quality of the food! My mother was able to die quietly and peacefully in her bed in her room with her family around her. I highly recommend the home."

"I needed fairly urgent respite care for my father who has dementia. The manager and her team were excellent in helping me to get very comfortable with the processes for Covid assuring me that the home was taking every responsibility for everyone's safety. My father was welcomed and made to feel very much at home. He clearly received excellent care during his four-week visit and visiting was well managed using the outdoor and garden spaces. We have used a care home before and this one is far superior, and I have confidence we will be using Queens Road again when required."

She found it easy to settle into her new environment and she took full advantage of the excellent range of activities on offer. The staff are all kind and attentive and she tells me that the food is of an exceptional standard. The last few months have been a worry, but my sister could not have been in better hands due to care and attention given by the nursing and administrative staff. Thank you Queens Court for looking after my sister so well. I know she feels safe and secure."

"Queens Court Care Home has looked after my mother wonderfully for the last 5 years. All the staff genuinely care about the residents and go out of their way to give her the best care possible. Much is down to the care home manager who is an outstanding leader. Like any organisation with an effective manager, the care home thrives and operates like a well-oiled machine. The care home is beautifully decorated, the food is good, location excellent and the garden, although small, offers an area of respite for all the residents."

Initially, she found it difficult to settle and was treated with respect and patience and was helped to participate in activities. She adjusted to her situation and was happy. Special events like her birthday, staff celebrated with her family, Christmas - quartet music which she loves. So much I could say. She is now very ill - the nursing care is excellent."

"The decision to put my aunt in a home about 20 months ago was a very difficult one but Queen’s Court has been a godsend. During that time, my mum was hospitalised and unable to visit, organise my aunt's finances etc. The manager was so empathetic and concerned about my mum and not increasing our stress, everything could wait until she was well. Staff are genuinely interested in my aunt’s wellbeing (from medications and care to tracking down her signature beret). They recognise too, the impact on the wider family. During Covid, we’ve had regular updates, Skype calls and the staff call with personal updates as needed. My aunt recently took a turn for the worse and the staff have been great at keeping us informed, organising additional Skype calls and a fully PPE’d visit for my mum. Where she’s needed new slippers or jumpers, one of the nurses has organised and shopped for them personally. We really can’t thank Queen’s Court enough for their kind, gentle, respectful and expert care."

"My 3-week stay was very comfortable and fulfilled exactly, as a post-hospital care home, my need for a place to recover strength before going home. All the staff were very helpful and the caregivers always kind to residents, no matter the time of day or night. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, some things could not be offered but would I come back again? Yes, certainly. As to value for money, I expect it is, I just have nothing to compare it as I write."

"On Sunday last I went to visit a very special lady at the Queens Court Nursing Home. I was greeted immediately at the front door with simple pleasantries. After a slight confusion (my friend is registered using her married name, not the name I knew her by) with regard to my friend's surname, I was led to the side entrance. I signed a form and was instructed to wash my hands. I was impressed by the due diligence. I was then taken to the serene and well-kept garden. It appeared very welcoming, with others socially distanced, yet enjoying the company of apparent loved ones. My friend arrived shortly after I was seated. Her smiles immediately told me she was in good hands. Tea and cake arrived shortly into my visit. Conversation flowed with ease despite her faltering memory. The visit ended far too abruptly (30 minutes). Without a doubt, I will gladly recommend this very professional operation. Looking forward to returning."

It has been hard during lockdown but they have done well in very difficult and challenging times. They have kept us fully informed for which I am very grateful. I think that my mum is in the best place to meet her increasing needs as Parkinson's takes an ever greater toll on her. Thank you, Queens Court."

"I can compare care provided by Queens Court to my mum and that provided to my aunt, in another care home. I feel Queens Court care well for my mum who suffers from Parkinson’s. They communicate promptly and clearly and are responsive to my concerns. I genuinely feel she is in the best place with respect to her needs. The contrast is huge to my aunt’s care home who refused to return calls or give any information whatsoever to her family, including to her next of kin. When she died, they did not phone my aunt’s next of kin and her passing was communicated by the police. They did not return calls until 5 days after her death. Queens Court is an exemplar of care and communication in comparison. The Queens Court carers and nurses are really kind and professional and deserve unqualified praise."

"My mother lived at Queens Court from June 2019 - March 2020, where she died aged 88. She suffered from dementia and was effectively paralysed from the waist down. She was not always the easiest of people to deal with because of her losses of mental lucidity. Despite all this, the staff at Queens Court could not have been more caring, understanding and patient with her, to which she did respond I was pleased to hear on many occasions. The atmosphere at Queens Court was always welcoming and friendly, her room spotless and airy, and the staff full of smiles and cheery conversation, as well as being factual and helpful if asked pertinent questions on my mother's condition. Guests were always given refreshment and nothing seemed too much trouble. I saw other care homes, and there was no question that Queens Court was head and shoulders way above many others. The manager and her whole team do an outstanding job and should be hugely congratulated in these very difficult times. Highly recommended."

Communication with the responsible relative could be improved regarding health visits and other need-to-know matters. The building is kept in good order and regularly cleaned with attentive staff. The kitchen provides good quality food and the homep rovides a range of internal and external activities. Entry to the home is well controlled to keep the residents safe and I am not aware of problems between residents and their property. Barchester Homes were recommended to me for quality and value."

Very happy atmosphere but staff also well focussed on resident's needs.

"Excellent care over last six months. Visited last week and saw Magic Table in action with staff interacting very constructively with residents. A good informal atmosphere but staff always focused on patient's needs. I did have concerns re financial administration over the failure to collect FNC payments and deduct them from fees (which were no fault of the general manager) which were investigated and the problem resolved but I was never provided by head office with any feedback as I should have been. I think Barchester should consider introducing some sort of advisory service or at least links to where advice can be obtained. As a court of protection deputy and lawyer, but relative (so unpaid) I find many of the tasks extremely time-consuming, if not confusing - i.e. how to apply for FNC payments/ how to complete forms for OPG, etc."

"While looking for a care home for an elderly friend who was no longer able to look after himself, Queens Court was recommended. As I live too far away to visit, with fingers crossed I had to trust in the recommendation. Four weeks later when I did visit, I was truly amazed at the quality of care, the standard of living conditions and cleanliness. The decor is also beautiful. Room doors are left open so residents can be seen. There are numerous staff who are around at all times, nurses, carers and cleaners who are all caring, friendly and welcoming. Staying for lunch on two occasions, the dining room and kitchen staff also have the same standards and the food is top class. The difference this home has made to my friend is unbelievable, he has gone from being very down and unable to walk, to slowly getting back on his feet and the outings they go on has definitely put a smile back on his face. Knowing he is safe and well cared for is a huge relief. Thank you Queens Court from both of us."

"Living 3,000 miles away from my sister, her only family member still living, it is difficult to express how hard it is only seeing her once or twice a year. Ever since we chose to place her in Queens Court care, I have not had one day of worry about her well-being, comfort or understanding given her difficult-to-diagnose dementia. We Skype every other week thanks to a cheerful carer put in charge of the tablet and although my sister can no longer speak, just seeing her looking groomed and relaxed, a gleam of recognition in her eye when she sees my face, means everything to me. I love that unlike the first assisted care home she went to, I see the same staff every time I visit, which would mean those carers like working at Queens Court. Despite those 3,000 miles, I am not a stranger to them, which is incredibly reassuring. In my opinion, the home deserves every award it garners!"

Almost without exception, the staff are friendly, patient and caring, and seem genuinely to enjoy their work. As a result, residents, for the most part, seem happy too.

"The Care Home provides residents with a warm and secure environment in a very dedicated manner. It is well run and individual needs of each resident are attended to with loving care. Meetings are held every three months with the residents, family and friends and relevant staff to discuss any issues in order to improve life in the home. Areas of improvement might include better communication between staff, residents and relatives with regard to management of hospital visits and visits by healthcare professionals, what the responsible person should expect of the care home and what the care home should expect of the responsible person. This might take the form of a leaflet."

"Warmly welcomed for my regular monthly visit, I arrived to find Mum being helped with her lunch, as expected. I waited for her in the garden, to which she was brought out when she had finished eating. The food was, as ever, of a very high standard. The garden was ideal for enjoying on a sunny, summer's day: raised beds at eye level, evidently well cared for, and surrounding trees that Mum commented favourably on, several times during the couple of hours that we sat there. A lot of care has clearly been put into the design and maintenance of the garden. Staff were attentive to us both, without being intrusive, throughout my stay (7 hours in all). Mum is steadily becoming more frail and the team have helpfully adapted her routine, to include earlier meals and a regular rest after lunch, which Mum clearly benefits from. During her rest, I was able to have a relaxed, open, informative and helpful discussion about Mum's current and future health and welfare with the manager."

It has taken my father a long time to settle in, but the care is good. He has a self-contained room. As I write this, he is doubly-incontinent, and cannot walk without falling over. He has been very enthusiastic about the food from the start - which is elegantly served twice a day in the restaurant. It has taken my father a long time to be able to join in group activities, but he seems increasingly able to do so with encouragement. The staff are kind and thoughtful, even on his not-so-well-behaved days. There is a regular programme of activities, and my father is encouraged to join in. Falls continue to occur, if he attempts to walk. He was successfully assessed for continuing care. I visit my father twice a week."
